Virtual Cockpit
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Matt,
Do you mean that there are black holes where the gauges ought to be or that they are there but not moving?
One of the possible problems you could have is that the actual panel is designed to be in the 'fsfsconv' folder and the plane's panel folder then aliases this panel, that is to say the panel.cfg file (the notepad text file in the panel folder in the actual aircraft) just 'points' towards another folder where the actual panel details are kept...
So if you've moved everything to the EHM folder it might be pointing to another location that no longer contains the panel! I would suggest that if you aren't totally happy with altering panel cfg files yourself, you revert to the basic arrangement of the panel itself being in the 'fsfsconv' folder and the panel.cfg file in your EHM plane's panel folder pointing to the 'fsfsconv' panel (which is what you'll get if you copy the whole panel folder from the downloaded Air Caledonie ATR-42 and replace the EHM ATR's whole panel folder with it). That's what I'd suggest, as per the full instructions above as this will definitely work ;D
Does that make any sense at all? :o
EHM-E4S:
I'm sick of these planes now. The EuroHoliday class 3 one's cockpit is missing, there are black holes in the Dash 8-400, and there is no bleeding euroCargo!
I think One of my problems is that I'm having to overwrite files in the Gauges file. How can I change that so I don't have to overwrite them, without causing the aircraft not being able to find the files?
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Matt,
It can be really frustrating when you can't get a new plane to work but it's normally a case of carefully checking the instructions and following them to the letter ;)
If this doesn't work describe exactly what the problem is in the Forum... so when you say the cockpit is missing, do you mean there isn't a VC or that no 2D panel shows up or something else..?
Are you pointing the EHM planes' automatic installer to your main FS9 folder? Or are you doing it manually?
When do you get asked about overwriting files? Does it give you the details of the file you're overwriting? Normally this should not cause you problems unless you install an FS2002 version of a plane in FS9 and this overwrites newer gauges that you need...
Do you have other add-ons for FS9 (payware scenery or aircraft...) that may have altered your FS9 set-up? All these details will help us to work out what's gone wrong and get you flying again :P
EHM-E4S:
I bet you wish you that you hadn't said you'd help me lol!
1)I've fixed the Dash 8. Turned out the gauges were all screwed up, but I fixed it.
2)I found out what the problam is in the Euro Holiday one, but I haven't fixed it. The Problem is, you know in the panel folder, there's a word document? When you just install an aircraft, it says that it's copying another plane. When you install a panel, there's a new document, which refers to the gauges, and where they should go (correct me if i'm wrong.) If I'm right, the problem is this. I've done everything for the Euro Holiday, but I don't/can't find the word document, telling the gauges where they are.
3)The Euro Cargo, I have tried everything, and I've gotten so mad with it, I want to punch these smilies next to the text.
so in conclusion, I've fixed the first problem. The second one, I think I can fix it if someone tells me where the files are, and for the third one, I need desperate help.
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Matt,
I've just downloaded the fleet EuroHolidays Embraer 120 (Class 3) to check your problem and it should automatically use the default panel from the Beech King Air. If you look in the panel folder for the eho_e120 aircraft there should be just one text file called panel.cfg which should just contain the following text:
"[fltsim]
alias=beech_king_air_350\panel" (without speech marks)
FS9 will only read this file if it's a plain text file and recognises it as the cfg file so if you've opened it in Word (which you seem to indicate in your post) this may have changed the file and the sim no longer recognises it as a panel.cfg file. If so, you need to delete and reinstall the whole plane (or cut and paste the text above into a plain text cfg file if you're happy doing this).
As for your problem with the EuroCargo plane, I still don't understand what's wrong - can you explain what you mean please?
My general advice would be, the EHM planes are set up to be simple to install, so if you're having problems, delete that specific aircraft folder and install it again, following the instructions in the installer carefully and installing to your main FS9 folder. Then there shouldn't be any problems... :P
